*sigh* Why oh why does something always seem to go haywire when I just start to get ahead? Seriously? A few days ago I mentioned getting hit by a hacker. To combat, I upgraded my WordPress installation hopefully increasing my security a bit and then, BANG! now I don’t get email notifications when you guys leave a comment. I’ve been debugging the problem for 2 days straight and I’m throwing my hands up. For the first time in my life I’m really stumped. Usually I figure these things out, sometime it may take me awhile but this is beyond “awhile”. I’m really stumped. So I will not be able to reply via email currently but I will reply to comments in the comments. I just hope I catch them all!
Anyway, I won’t bother you with any more boring details about it. I’ll bore you with these boring details instead. ;~P
There is just SO much happening.
- I just posted this weeks video over on GreenLiteBites, Blueberry-Mango “Crisp”. There’s a short surprise in the end. It isn’t much but the husband makes a short cameo.
- While on the video topic, I recorded 3 Ask Roni sessions today. I’m working on extracting the audio so I can post podcasts. I’m trying to figure the whole thing out and I hope to post the first one tomorrow.
- My garden is FINALLY producing a plethora of produce. Tomatoes, green beans and a zucchini the size of a baseball bat came out today. I LOVE having my small garden but I wish I had more time for it. I’m weeded over and the japanese beetles are having a field day!
- On the workout front, I feel like I’m slowly getting back up to my pre-surgery routine. Today I hit a step class and climbed the rock wall. Yesterday I ran a mile and lifted. I have to get my but in gear if I’m ever going to make my goals this year!
- If you saw my recent video post, you saw how emotional I became trying to answer Bab’s question. Well, we’ve been emailing back and forth and I have her permission to share our conversation. I’m hoping it will help motivate those of us that struggle with our body image issues. Look for that tomorrow, I wanted to post it earlier but this darn email thing set me back.
- Also keep an eye out for a new produce pick this week. I picked up a melon I never heard of before and I can’t wait to try it!
Finally, my food journal today. Hope you all had a great weekend!

If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

I had TONS of trouble with my WordPress upgrade. I was stuck too for the first time (mine was a photo insert problem). Luckily Windows Live Writer was my way of getting around it, but I’d be stuck without emailed comments too. Good luck Roni.
I love looking at your food choices. It gives me so many ideas of things I could be eating. Congrats on getting back into climbing!
Roni, you are truly a one of a kind…I think it’s great that you have been taking not just the time but even the “head space” to reach out to one of your readers “Babs” and help her. Back in Jan. I fist discovered your site and emailed you to ask what helped you the most and you did the same and took the time for me. I am now about 20+ lbs lighter, now a runner and inspiring Triathlete….thanks for being the woman we all strive to be.
Roni,
Love your blog – has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like that actress on the TBS show “My Boys”? You have a lot of similar facial features, i think!
Have a great day!
Katie
What is with WordPress lately?
Roni emailed me back too!
Melissa! Congrats!! That’s is AWESOME!
And Thank you so much for kind comment, All I have to say is I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t want to help, honestly, it’s just what I do!
Katie, That wouldn’t happen to be Sherry Stringfield would it? That is who my husband used to think I looked like, when she was on ER.
I always said I have a common face, I get the “you look like…” all the time! lol
Hi Roni, do you get emails from hungrygirl? She mentioned this morning that there is a new reality tv show that is looking for 4 chefs, and I thought of you immediately. You should really check it out.
A couple of days ago I left a message saying what a good cook you were, and that was BEFORE I tried the two recipes I had picked out. Unbelievable! The Veggie Summer Bake was fantastic, and I feel like I am eating something decadent and completely good for me at the same time. Could not be improved by adding cheese in my opinion! Then I used your recipe for Sweet and Tangy Salmon, but I had orange roughy defrosted already. It was delicious too! Thank you so much. You are my favorite recipe site!
Can’t wait to try the Blueberry Mango crisp. Might have to substitute some other fruit because I really want to try it today and I don’t have mango. I saw the recipe is up for the chocolate kettle corn, but I am lazy. This is what I do: use the 94% fat free kettle corn (jolly time is my favorite) and just suck on one points worth of dark chocolate while I am eating the kettle corn. Weird, I know, but it works for me.
Jean, maybe we can help each other, email me offline.
Debby! Thanks!! I filled it out, doesn’t hurt to try, right?!? Glad you liked the ideas!
Hi Roni,
I am by no means a gardening expert, but I might have a solution for the Japanese beetle problem in your garden. When my family used to live in Charlotte, NC, Japanese beetles were everywhere. People would hang special bags in their yards that would attract the beetles and then trap them. I can’t remember what they were called, but I bet a garden supply store would know the exact name. It might be a good alternative to spraying a pesticide on your garden and save the veggies for you to enjoy instead of the bugs!
Michelly – I totally been meaning to get one, but the husband thinks it will attract even more! LOL
my parents’ garden is producing like nuts….I am trying to keep up with all the tomatoes by turning it into sauce……….I throw grated zucchini in there too. This winter I will be grateful when I am pulling out the garden treasures from the freezer. I am going to check out your video now ;)
